Book A History of Elizabethtown  Kentucky and Its Surroundings  Classic Reprint

Download or read book A History of Elizabethtown Kentucky and Its Surroundings Classic Reprint written by Samuel Haycraft and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Elizabethtown, Kentucky and Its Surroundings Samuel Haycraft's "History of Elizabethtown and Its Surroundings" was published in the Elizabethtown News in 1869 and republished in 1889-90. The preservation of this history through its publication in the News is a happy occurrence, for in no other way would much of the early history of the town have been accurately preserved. Mr. Haycraft was a son of one of the three pioneer settlers of the town, and was born when the town was still an early pioneer settlement. At the time of his death he had lived here 83 years, and he was the only remaining citizen whose life went back to the town's earliest days. Elizabethtown is now 140 years old, and it will not be long before no one will be left whose interest in the town's history is quickened by personal memory of its early inhabitants. When that time comes, traditions will rapidly grow vague, and the knowledge of its early history and characters will be lost. On account of facts like these the Elizabethtown Woman's Club undertook the publication of Haycraft's History in book form. The original suggestion of this came from Mrs. William Allen Pusey, of Chicago. There are many Elizabethtown people both at home and abroad to whom the town is dear and who are interested in preserving its history. When this matter was proposed to them there was a gratifying response which has enabled the club to proceed with the undertaking. Quite aside from local interest and personal feelings there are other good reasons for the publication of this work. It is an exceedingly interesting document, particularly in the vivid description which the writer gives of pioneer customs and conditions. The author loved the town and its early history, and he describes it in vigorous style and with a quaint sense of humor. He was little disturbed in his writing by the laws of composition, but his descriptions flow on easily, and the reader is never uncertain as to what he is trying to say. The original copy has been reproduced without any effort at alteration or correction. A few chapters, composed of material not really a part of the history of the town and its surroundings, have been omitted.

Book From London to Kentucky

Download or read book From London to Kentucky written by Steven R. Butler and published by . This book was released on 2024-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the colonial era, English courts sentenced tens of thousands of petty criminals to "transportation" to the colonies in North America. From London to Kentucky is the true story of one of those convicts, a London chimney-sweep named James Haycraft, Jr., who after being apprehended for committing a burglary, soon found himself first in London's notorious Newgate Prison, and then, after a brief trial, in chains aboard a ship bound for Virginia. There, toward the end of his seven-year sentence, James was married and started a family. The story continues with the experiences of his son, Samuel Haycraft, Sr., who after serving on the frontier during the American War for Independence, became one of the founders of Hardin County, Kentucky, an employer of Abraham Lincoln's father, a sheriff, a sawmill owner, a judge, a respected Kentucky legislator, and a presidential elector.

Download or read book Kentucky Ancestral Homes written by Lincoln Financial Foundation and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kentucky, Ancestral Homes: Hardin Thomas House Built by Thomas Lincoln Efforts to prove that Thomas Lincoln (father of the Sixteenth President) built the Hardin Thomas house, which is still standing near Elizabethtown, continue despite the lack of documentary records to nail down the facts. Up to date, the best information on the subject is to be found in Samuel Haycraft Jr's. A History of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and its Surroundings, written in 1869. On page 123, Chapter XXXII, Haycraft made the following statement: He (hardin Thomas) lived in a house rather better than usual for that day, the carpenter work of which was executed by Thomas Lincoln, the father of the late president; and the most of that work is to be seen at this day, sound as a trout, although done upwards of sixty years ago. Another Haycraft reference appears on page 55 of the Elizabethtown history as follows: He (jack Thomas) was born on the 7th day of February, 1790. His father (hardin Thomas) resided in a house the joiner's work of which was done by Thomas Lincoln, father of the president. Some of the descendants of Hardin Thomas contend that Jack Thomas was born in the cabin home in 1790 and that if Thomas Lincoln built the cabin it would have to be prior to 1790. Historians who have worked through Kentucky court house records are convinced that Thomas Lincoln was born in 1776, although President Abraham Lincoln probably believed that his father was born in 1778.

  • ISBN : 0813159016
  • Pages : 1080 pages

Download or read book The Kentucky Encyclopedia written by John E. Kleber and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 1080 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kentucky Encyclopedia's 2,000-plus entries are the work of more than five hundred writers. Their subjects reflect all areas of the commonwealth and span the time from prehistoric settlement to today's headlines, recording Kentuckians' achievements in art, architecture, business, education, politics, religion, science, and sports. Biographical sketches portray all of Kentucky's governors and U.S. senators, as well as note congressmen and state and local politicians. Kentucky's impact on the national scene is registered in the lives of such figures as Carry Nation, Henry Clay, Louis Brandeis, and Alben Barkley. The commonwealth's high range from writers Harriette Arnow and Jesse Stuart, reformers Laura Clay and Mary Breckinridge, and civil rights leaders Whitney Young, Jr., and Georgia Powers, to sports figures Muhammad Ali and Adolph Rupp and entertainers Loretta Lynn, Merle Travis, and the Everly Brothers. Entries describe each county and county seat and each community with a population above 2,500. Broad overview articles examine such topics as agriculture, segregation, transportation, literature, and folklife. Frequently misunderstood aspects of Kentucky's history and culture are clarified and popular misconceptions corrected. The facts on such subjects as mint juleps, Fort Knox, Boone's coonskin cap, the Kentucky hot brown, and Morgan's Raiders will settle many an argument. For both the researcher and the more casual reader, this collection of facts and fancies about Kentucky and Kentuckians will be an invaluable resource.
